The Un-Ubiquitous Carrera 3.0

[mrar]

Hello,
I am looking to buy this C3 and have few questions: (1976 all numbers match)
- engine, does it look original (carbs?), all images i see here are injector type...
- is all rubber duck tail original?
- what kind steering wheel is it?

Thanks

That tail could be correct for late build 76 model. My 77 Aus del c3.0 has all rubber that came with sport option.

- engine: engine was on k-jetronic, no carbs = later conversion

- is all rubber duck tail original? Nope, C3 option was whale tail spoiler

- what kind steering wheel is it? Porsche design, aftermaket. See also http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...porsche+design

What would be involve to change back to original injection? Is this same system as later 3l engine from 911SC (i have a spare complete engine from 81 SC)

Sorry, i meant whale tail.

Be looking for original (is same as SC steering wheel?)

Thanks

1981 injection has some different specs (e.g. automatic choke, O2 sensor, etc), it might be adapted, I guess ... but it won't be easy.

Steering wheel is similar to SC, there are some subtle differences but I guess very few would notice ...

Gentlemen,
somewhere in the back of my mind I have the idea that the C3-engine has weaknesses (crank?), but cannot find any written proof. Could you please confirm or dispel that notion! Thank you!

Ciao Anatol, how's life? It retains the same 6-bolts crankshaft of the previous Carrera 2.7 ... don't think it's a weakness

I have engine # 6770431 and am wondering if there is a chance the original car is still in existence??

Actually finalizing my 3,0 Carrera engine.
Already running smooth.
There are some small detail I would like to get fixed and only little picture of original engine compartments available.

1. how many brackets had been used for the long heater hose?- have mounted one, but there are three different versions listed in PET
2. when was the change from old style ignition coil to the one with the tabs close together?- found both version with a date code of early 76 in my stock
3. how does the electric engine panel look like? -it´s the larger board with five round relay hols and the later 3 pin CDI, thats all I know

4. There had been 120 engines with 210PS instead of 200PS. Which engine numbers are known with 210PS?

I have resurrected the Carrera 3.0 Registry. It is bare bones for now, will add to it as I get time. It will just have the cars listed for now. Please head there to sign your car up if you haven't already. Thanks! www.carrera30.net
